One year before the presidential election, Xavier Bertrand continues to make his proposals known.

The candidate for the Elysee Palace in 2022 this time tackles the subject of justice and security.

The former LR member thus says he wants to put an end to the “impunity” of delinquents, in particular that of minors, by the multiplication of closed educational centers, the placement under electronic bracelets, the complete revision of the Penal Code for minors or even the introduction of the penal majority at 15 years.

"The law must have the last word and delinquents must know that there will be no more impunity," he said in an interview with the

Journal du dimanche

.

Xavier Bertrand is also very critical of Emmanuel Macron for whom "security has never been the priority".

Take the example of the army

In addition to the creation of 20,000 new prison places, the president of Hauts-de-France wants to "multiply by three the number of closed educational centers" and the most dangerous minors must be supervised in a military manner. He also pleads for "to multiply the additional penalties of expulsion" and "the placement under electronic bracelet, including of minors, must be generalized". To "break the phenomenon of gangs", Xavier Bertrand plans to "completely revise the Penal Code for minors by establishing the penal majority at 15 years" and by splitting "the functions between the judges in charge of the protection of minors and those in charge of criminal justice for juvenile offenders ”.

Asked about the decrease in the number of police under Nicolas Sarkozy, he said he will "not dirty" the "security record" of the former president. "Security is not reduced to the only question of the number of police officers, it is indeed the penal answer the solution", he insists. In addition, he wants to go back on the suppression of the prefectural body announced by Emmanuel Macron in an “unfair” and “irresponsible” manner.

Finally, on the head of the LREM list in the Pas-de-Calais region, Eric Dupond-Moretti, Minister of Justice, the president of Hauts-de-France, candidate for his re-election in June, affirms that "the only objective Emmanuel Macron is to have the RN elected "in his region, by" coldly and cynically pursuing his strategy to face Marine Le Pen in the second round of the presidential election. "

“He would do better to take care of the country rather than indulge in cheap political maneuvers.

For months, the house has been on fire and Emmanuel Macron has been looking elsewhere ”.

If the RN is in a position to win in his region, "there will be no agreement with LREM," he said.

Our list has already been submitted for the first and second rounds ”.
